“Although there were few competitors (9), we had a great display of strength,” Eirik Bruun Ingebretsen reported to IronMind. “After Thomas and myself did comfortable lifts at 40 kg [ont he IronMind Blockbuster Pinch Grip Block], we decided to go for a new world record. As you can see in the video, the setup weighed 46.6 kg.

“I only got it 6 inches off the floor, but I was more than happy to bow for Thomas, the king of wide pinch,” said Ingebretsen.
